Newbie Commander, is this the T8 Fleet?!

Qingyang didn't dwell on it any longer, directly storing the over three hundred units of Moro Metal in his warehouse.

He then looked at the Planet Disintegrator, hesitated for a moment, and decided to destroy it.

Destructive mining equipment like the Planet Disintegrator had long been strictly prohibited by the Alliance.

Even if kept, it would serve no purpose other than to be looked at.

"The Moro Metal in this area has been depleted. Let's head to the next production site," Qingyang suddenly said.

If the Mecha needed a large amount of Moro Metal, were other areas also being mined by Mecha?

Such a vast quantity of Moro Metal was a rare find for the Starfleet!

Lost Mecha inherently possessed Exotic Space characteristics, meaning even high-level equipment wouldn't cause energy disturbances within the Star Lake.

They were recognized as native 'species' by Qian Sen Star Lake!

Any other external high-level energy fluctuations would immediately trigger massive energy vibrations and particle storms.

Precisely because of this, even though they knew Qian Sen Star Lake contained immense amounts of special minerals, most people couldn't mine them freely.

The entire Star Lake was like gunpowder, easily ignited.

Normally, collecting Moro Metal required scraping it off bit by bit with decomposition beams.

Now, with a group of native beings digging for them, and large quantities of ready-made Moro Metal laid out before them, why wouldn't they take it!

With this thought, Qingyang immediately opened the Star Chart, confirming the location of the nearest Moro Metal producing area.

A vertical distance of three thousand three hundred light-years?!

Qingyang frowned. This depth was already somewhat dangerous for the Eternal Fleet.

The density of Star Beasts would significantly increase.

It wasn't that Qingyang underestimated himself, but the Star Beasts nurtured by Qian Sen Star Lake were far from comparable to the Star Lake he encountered when he first started.

Encountering groups of Level 5 Star Beasts was commonplace.

"Forget it, fortune favors the bold. At worst, we can just enter Dark Space and escape," Qingyang finally decided.

The Eternal Fleet immediately set sail.

They directly jumped into Subspace and headed for their destination.

Through the virtually transparent membrane of Subspace, Taiyi constantly observed the situation within the Star Lake.

Those terrifying Energy Storms could easily reach into Subspace.

Meanwhile.

Hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the edge of Qian Sen Star Lake, a Particle Storm spread out.

A massive fleet rapidly emerged from within, its sheer scale nearly obscuring the light of the surrounding stars.

This was a Mecha fleet composed of tens of thousands of Mecha ships!

The weakest were medium-sized Mecha ships, and among the equally large high-level Mecha ships, more powerful warships could be faintly seen.

Additionally, two War Fortresses, thousands of kilometers in diameter, gradually revealed themselves.

A moment later, as if receiving an order, this massive fleet sailed directly in one direction.

[Lost Zone Coordinates Locked]

On the other side, five hundred light-years away from the second Moro Metal production site, the Eternal Fleet encountered a new situation.

Ahead of the Eternal Fleet.

Hundreds of Starships were locked in combat with three Level 5 Star Beasts. Their weak energy levels immediately led Qingyang to deduce that this was a combined fleet formed from over a dozen T8 Fleets.

The strongest among them were only seven or eight high-end Starry Sky Battleships, and due to the buffs from Star Weapons and innate abilities, these high-end battleships were only about 10% stronger than the Eternal Fleet's Changqu Cruisers!

Facing three Level 5 Star Beasts, each kilometers in size with formidable biological energy levels.

The combined fleet of hundreds of Starships was steadily retreating, with many Starships already severely damaged.

Qingyang even saw one Starship with only its control room and keel structure appearing solid.

The rest of its parts were extremely ethereal.

It had clearly been blown apart.

Despite this, the Starship continued to operate smoothly, its ethereal Ship Cannons firing continuously.

"Although I haven't experienced it myself, I've finally witnessed the resilience of Datafication firsthand," Qingyang mused, stroking his chin with a tone of admiration.

Guxue asked curiously, "They're clearly all rookie Commanders. Do they dare to wander blindly in Qian Sen Star Lake without any trump cards?"

The weakest Star Beasts that dared to roam and hunt in Qian Sen Star Lake were Level 4.

Level 5 were also common.

The combined fleet before them could be routed by even a few dozen Level 4 Star Beasts.

Qingyang shrugged. Although he didn't know the reason, he had to save them. After all, in the Alliance, commanders couldn't be enemies.

Besides, rescuing them would increase his Star Net reputation.

Most importantly, these three Level 5 Star Beasts were all the same type, known as Skarat Beasts.

Their scales, as black as crystal, could be used to manufacture certain low-quality defensive Star Weapons!

They fetched a good price.

"Three of them should be worth at least sixty thousand Star Points."

Qingyang recalled information in his mind while controlling the Eternal Fleet to charge towards the battlefield several light-years away.

"Battleship formation! Push forward! Don't interrupt the main and secondary cannons!"

"Second Cruiser formation and Fourth Assault Ship formation, immediately flank to the left and right, ensuring these three Skarat Beasts receive full firepower as much as possible!"

On the Star Net local channel, several young men and women were continuously commanding their joint fleet's attack.

Faced with the joint fleet, which was mostly composed of T8 ordinary or mid-tier ships from the Starfleet, the Skarat Beasts didn't feel much threat.

Except for the main cannons of a few battleships, which they had to dodge or defend against with their bio-force fields.

The ship cannons from the other warships couldn't even break their scales when they hit.

The Skarat Beasts, with their triangular heads and eight legs, shook their heads. Powerful bio-energy gathered in their mouths.

The patterns on their scales began to glow, and then three blinding light cannons directly struck two battleships. The thousands of energy damage caused the shields of several mid-tier battleships to dim significantly.

Inside one of the crescent-shaped, high-tier battleships, a capable woman with a high ponytail gritted her teeth.

"Damn it, according to the route, there shouldn't be multiple Level 5 Star Beasts here."

On the screen beside her, two youths in combat suits also looked unwilling.

Finally, the robust-looking youth sighed, "Wang Lian, if it's really impossible, we should retreat. Quite a few of our classmates have already suffered severe damage. If we drag this out any longer, the gains won't outweigh the losses."

"With three Skarat Beasts blocking the way, we can't get through unless we leave half our fleet to hold them off," the youth next to him added.

Wang Lian's phoenix eyes were filled with helplessness, but the current situation offered no other options.

She finally sighed, "Last round of attacks. We'll retreat during the brief moment the three Skarat Beasts are focused on defense."

Upon hearing the decision to retreat, the more than a dozen new commanders in the channel, though unwilling, knew that further delay would be futile.

They quickly agreed to retreat.

"All ships, prepare to concentrate fire!"

Everyone immediately gave the order.

Just as the fleet's ship cannons reached their peak charge...

A brilliant light spear streaked from afar, like a celestial river's sword energy, directly hitting one of the Skarat Beasts!

There was no explosion, no energy wave.

The targeted Skarat Beast's bio-field dissolved on the spot. Its entire head was swallowed by the light spear, and it was directly blasted into particles.

The remaining light spear continued for millions of kilometers before finally exploding in the distance!

The sudden event caused the joint fleet to immediately cease firing.

"Is there a powerful Starfleet nearby?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

The remaining two Skarat Beasts were stunned. By the time they reacted, a massive shadow had completely enveloped them.

They looked up in confusion and saw dozens of Starships surrounding them.

Although they were the same size as those hundreds of iron lumps, they could clearly feel a deadly threat emanating from a few of those iron lumps.

"Sixty thousand Star Points. It would be a huge loss if they escaped," Qingyang muttered in Taiyi.

The joint fleet.

Wang Lian and the other two were the first to react, instinctively opening the Star Net's nearby fleet information.

Their gazes paused on the basic information displayed on the Star Net, and the three were utterly astonished.

"This is a T8 Fleet?!"
